Mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) in higher plants can induce cytoplasmic male
sterility and be somehow involved in nuclear-cytoplasmic interactions affecting plant growth …

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam) is an important food crop, an excellent fodder crop,
and a new type of industrial raw material crop. The lack of genomic resources could affect …

Background Plants possess mitochondrial genomes that are large and complex compared
to animals. Despite their size, plant mitochondrial genomes do not contain significantly more …

Plant mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) are a valuable source of genetic information
for a better understanding of phylogenetic relationships. However, no mitogenome of any …

Background Species within the angiosperm genus Silene contain the largest mitochondrial
genomes ever identified. The enormity of these genomes (up to 11 Mb in size) appears to be …

Plant mitochondrial genomes (mtDNAs) vary in sequence structure. We assembled the
Brassica oleracea var. capitata mtDNA using a mean coverage depth of 25X whole genome …

Background Plant mitochondria, semiautonomous organelles that function as manufacturers
of cellular ATP, have their own genome that has a slow rate of evolution and rapid …

The mitochondrial genome of plants is-in every respect and for yet unclear reasons-very
different from the well-studied one of animals. Thanks to next-generation sequencing …

Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.), a member of the palm family (Arecaceae), is one of the most
economically important crops in tropics, serving as an important source of food, drink, fuel …

Key message We reported the mitochondrial genome of Taraxacum mongolicum for the first
time. Five pairs of repeats that can mediate recombination were validated, leading to …
